November 3rd - Wickford Fireworks Spectacular!

Thanks to everyone who came along to the Fireworks Spectacular in the Memorial Park on Saturday night. It really was a great evening; the weather was perfect, and everyone had a great time. And  thanks to our sponsors for the event.

We tried a couple of new things this year and in the main they improved the evening; Chris and Abbie from Radio Essex led the evening and entertained us up to the fireworks, and Kimbolton's did us proud again.

Thanks to those of you who provided positive criticism in the various social media forums; we're looking at how we can address the few points where we can improve.

And we're pleased to announce that we raise dover £8900 this year;  the proceeds of the event will go to the Cancer Research Institute and Rotary Foundation
